Boxerfanatic is speaking of the M1 Garand rifle, which is the full sized rifle in 30-06. The 30 M1 carbine is a almost child sized rifle, based around a similar action but scaled down in size and cartridge. From what I see, I think he is looking at an M1 Carbine.
Either one was made by a variety of manufacturing companies, and values can vary extremely based on this, and of course, condition. $1000 may be a bargain, or very expensive. Do your research before buying.
A
search should find a ton of information on either one.
